Dear Johnny:

I em very happy to have your letter of the 8th
instant and to know that you are interested in coming
up to our basketball mixer on Saturday morning, April

As soon as your letter arrived I called Coach
Hurt and he seid that there were some friends of the
University who are interested in you and they would be
very gled to take care of your transportation. So you
may consider that definitely taken care of. —

Our high school meet is on Friday, and perhaps
. you might be interested in coming up if you could make
errencgements for your school work, or even come after
school on Friday afternoon.

I have heard many find things about you both as
to your athletic ability and as to your leadership in
other activities. It will be a real pleasure to meet
you and talk with you regarding your future. I assure
you that we would be very happy to have you select the
University of Kansas as your alma mater.
